TypeError: console.log(…) is not a function

2017-09-03 20:12:31

Simply put a semicolon (;) after console.log().


Explanation

The error is easily reproducible like this:

It’s trying to pass function(){} as an argument to the return value of console.log() which itself is not a function but actually undefined (check typeof console.log();). This is because JavaScript interprets this as console.log()(function(){})console.log however is a function.

If you didn’t have the console object you’d see

ReferenceError: console is not defined

If you had the console object but not the log method you’d see

TypeError: console.log is not a function

What you have, however, is

TypeError: console.log(...) is not a function

Note the (...) after the function name. With those it’s referring to the return value of the function.


Respect the ;

All these code snippets result in all sorts of unexpected errors if no semicolons are present:

console.log() // As covered before() // TypeError: console.log(...) is not a functionconsole.log() // Accessing property 0 of property 1 of the return value…[1][0] // TypeError: console.log(...) is undefinedconsole.log() // Like undefined-3-3 // NaN

Another Example

You see the (...) oftentimes with the use of chained methods or chained property accessors:

string.match(/someRegEx/)[0]

If that RegEx isn’t found, the method will return null and the property accessor on null will cause a TypeError: string.match(...) is null — the return value is null. In the case of console.log(...) the return value was undefined.

    Android在代码中设置状态栏半透明/全透明

    顶部是有文字,小图标等,如果直接用透明半透明 状态栏上的东西会与内容重叠(你觉得无所谓也可以直接用上面2部分代码),这样我们就想做成类似支付宝这样的效果:

    <![CDATA[]]>和转义字符

      此标记用于xml文档中,我们先来看看使用转义符的情况。我们知道,在xml中,”<”、”>”、”&”等字符是不能直接存入的,否则xml语法检查时会报错,如果想在xml中使用这些符号,必须将其转义为实体,如”&lt;”、”&gt;”、”&amp;”,这样才能保存进xml文档。
